Description

本発明は、モータ駆動する電動工具に、モータの回転方向を切り替えるために設けられる正逆切替装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a forward / reverse switching device provided in an electric tool driven by a motor for switching the rotation direction of the motor.

電動工具の正逆切替装置は、ハウジング内でモータの固定子に固定され、固定子のコイルに夫々電気的接続される一対の固定接点を備えたユニットベースと、整流子に対向して摺接する一対のカーボンブラシを保持してユニットベースへ回転可能に組み付けられるリング状のブラシベースとからなり、ブラシベースに、固定接点間に位置する一対の可動接点が夫々設けられている。このブラシベースの回転操作によって両可動接点の固定接点への接触態様を切り替えることで、モータの正回転と逆回転とが選択可能となっている（例えば特許文献１参照）。   A forward / reverse switching device for an electric power tool is slidably opposed to a commutator and a unit base having a pair of fixed contacts fixed to a stator of a motor in a housing and electrically connected to a coil of the stator. The brush base comprises a ring-shaped brush base that holds a pair of carbon brushes and is rotatably assembled to the unit base. Each brush base is provided with a pair of movable contacts located between fixed contacts. By switching the contact mode of the two movable contacts to the fixed contact by the rotation operation of the brush base, the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the motor can be selected (for example, see Patent Document 1).

図６は、その正逆切替装置の具体例を示す分解斜視図、図７はその組み立て斜視図で、正逆切替装置１において、２はモータの固定子に固定される円盤リング状のユニットベース、３はそのユニットベース２の上方へ同軸で組み付けられ、ユニットベース２と略同じ外径の短スリーブ状であるブラシベースである。ユニットベース２、ブラシベース３は何れも合成樹脂製である。
まずユニットベース２は、平面円弧状の一対の固定接点４，４を点対称に備えており、各固定接点４の端部は、夫々他方の固定接点４の端部と周方向に所定間隔をおいて対向し、且つ半径方向へ揺動可能な弾性端４ａとなっている。５は、各固定接点４に連設され、固定子のコイル側の一方の対のターミナル端子に差し込まれて電気的接続される差込片、６，６は、下端がコイル側の他方の対のターミナル端子に差し込まれ、上端がスイッチに接続される端子金具である。ユニットベース２の下方には、各差込片５や端子金具６を保持して固定子のターミナル端子に連結される連結部７，７・・が形成されている。さらに、ユニットベース２の内周には、上端を外向きに折り返した一対のフック８，８が上方へ突設されている。このフック８が、ブラシベース３の内周へ周方向に形成された凹部９，９に係止することで、ユニットベース２上にブラシベース３を回転可能に連結している。 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a specific example of the forward / reverse switching device, FIG. 7 is an assembled perspective view of the forward / reverse switching device, and in the forward / reverse switching device 1, 2 is a disk ring-shaped unit base fixed to the stator of the motor. Reference numeral 3 denotes a brush base which is coaxially assembled above the unit base 2 and has a short sleeve shape having substantially the same outer diameter as the unit base 2. The unit base 2 and the brush base 3 are both made of synthetic resin.
First, the unit base 2 is provided with a pair of plane arc-shaped fixed contacts 4 and 4 in a point-symmetric manner, and the end of each fixed contact 4 is spaced apart from the end of the other fixed contact 4 in the circumferential direction. The elastic ends 4a are opposed to each other and can swing in the radial direction. 5 is an insertion piece that is connected to each fixed contact 4 and is inserted into one pair of terminal terminals on the coil side of the stator to be electrically connected. This is a terminal fitting that is inserted into the terminal terminal of the terminal and has an upper end connected to the switch. Below the unit base 2, there are formed connecting portions 7, 7,... That hold the respective insertion pieces 5 and terminal fittings 6 and are connected to the terminal terminals of the stator. Further, a pair of hooks 8, 8 whose upper ends are folded outward are projected upward on the inner periphery of the unit base 2. The hook 8 is engaged with recesses 9 and 9 formed in the circumferential direction on the inner periphery of the brush base 3, so that the brush base 3 is rotatably connected to the unit base 2.

次に、ブラシベース３には、点対称位置で直線上に、角スリーブで金属製のブラシホルダ１０，１０が組み付けられて、ブラシホルダ１０に挿着した図示しないカーボンブラシを保持可能となっている。また、各ブラシホルダ１０には、図８にも示すように、下端がブラシベース３の下面に点対称位置で突設する可動接点１１，１１が連結されて、ユニットベース２の固定接点４，４の間に夫々突出している。
よって、ブラシベース３の回転に伴う可動接点１１，１１の周方向の移動により、可動接点１１，１１は、固定接点４，４において点対称で一対となる２組の弾性端４ａ，４ａの内周側に移動し、弾性端４ａを外周側へ押し上げるように撓ませて接触し、モータの正回転と逆回転とが切り替えられる。なお、可動接点１１，１１が何れの固定接点４にも接触しない図８の状態ではニュートラルとなる。また、ブラシベース３の側面には、電動工具のハウジングの側面に形成された窓を介して外部へ突出する操作突起１２，１２が突設されて、ハウジングの外部からブラシベース３を回転操作可能となっている。 Next, on the brush base 3, metal brush holders 10, 10 are assembled with a square sleeve on a straight line at a point-symmetrical position, and a carbon brush (not shown) inserted into the brush holder 10 can be held. Yes. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, each brush holder 10 is connected with movable contacts 11, 11 whose lower ends protrude from the lower surface of the brush base 3 in a point-symmetrical position. Each of the four protrudes.
Therefore, due to the movement of the movable contacts 11, 11 in the circumferential direction accompanying the rotation of the brush base 3, the movable contacts 11, 11 are in a pair of elastic ends 4 a, 4 a that are point-symmetric with respect to the fixed contacts 4, 4. It moves to the circumferential side, is bent so as to push up the elastic end 4a to the outer circumferential side, and is switched between forward rotation and reverse rotation of the motor. In addition, in the state of FIG. 8 in which the movable contacts 11 and 11 do not contact any fixed contact 4, the neutral state is obtained. Further, on the side surface of the brush base 3, operation projections 12 and 12 projecting to the outside through a window formed on the side surface of the housing of the electric power tool are projected so that the brush base 3 can be rotated from the outside of the housing. It has become.

このように固定接点４の端部を弾性端４ａとすると、弾性端４ａの弾性性能で相手側の可動接点１１との接圧を調整することになる。しかし、接圧を上げるために弾性域の上限付近で使用すると、熱や振動の影響で弾性端４ａが塑性変形して接圧が低下し、弾性端４ａのばたつき（チャタリング）や溶着が発生するおそれがある。   As described above, when the end of the fixed contact 4 is the elastic end 4a, the contact pressure with the counterpart movable contact 11 is adjusted by the elastic performance of the elastic end 4a. However, if it is used near the upper limit of the elastic range in order to increase the contact pressure, the elastic end 4a is plastically deformed due to the influence of heat and vibration, and the contact pressure is lowered, causing fluttering (chattering) and welding of the elastic end 4a. There is a fear.

そこで、本発明は、簡単な構成で、接圧低下に伴う弾性端のチャタリングや溶着を効果的に抑制し、接点寿命を向上させることができる電動工具の正逆切替装置を提供することを目的としたものである。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a forward / reverse switching device for an electric tool that can effectively suppress chattering and welding of an elastic end accompanying a decrease in contact pressure and improve contact life with a simple configuration. It is what.

上記目的を達成するために、請求項１に記載の発明は、固定接点と可動接点との何れか一方の接点の端部を、他方の接点との接触によって変形する弾性端とする一方、ユニットベース又はブラシベースに、固定接点と可動接点とが接触した際に変形する弾性端と当接してその変形量を規制する規制部を設けたことを特徴とするものである。
請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１の構成において、弾性端のばたつきをより確実に防止するために、規制部に、弾性端の当接によって変形する弾性を付与したことを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the end of one of the fixed contact and the movable contact is an elastic end that is deformed by contact with the other contact. The base or brush base is provided with a restricting portion that abuts an elastic end that deforms when the fixed contact and the movable contact come into contact with each other and restricts the amount of deformation.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, in order to more reliably prevent the elastic end from flapping, the restricting portion is provided with an elasticity that is deformed by the contact of the elastic end. Is.

請求項１に記載の発明によれば、熱や振動に対する弾性端の接圧低下を防止してチャタリングや溶着を効果的に抑制し、接点寿命を向上させることができる。特にこの効果は、規制部を設ける簡単な構成で得られるため、コストアップは最小限で済む。
請求項２に記載の発明によれば、請求項１の効果に加えて、規制部に弾性を付与したことで、寸法公差等があってもこれを吸収でき、規制部と弾性端との間に隙間が生じない。よって、弾性端のチャタリングや溶着をより確実に抑制可能となる。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the contact pressure of the elastic end against heat and vibration can be prevented from being lowered, chattering and welding can be effectively suppressed, and the contact life can be improved. In particular, this effect can be obtained with a simple configuration having a restricting portion, so that the cost increase can be minimized.
According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, by providing elasticity to the restricting portion, even if there is a dimensional tolerance or the like, this can be absorbed, and between the restricting portion and the elastic end. There is no gap. Therefore, chattering and welding at the elastic end can be more reliably suppressed.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。但し、正逆切替装置の基本的な構造は図６〜８で説明した従来構造と同様であるため、同じ構成部には同じ符号を付して重複する説明を省略し、従来構造と異なる構成を中心に説明する。
［形態１］
図１は、本発明の正逆切替装置に用いられるユニットベース（固定接点の未装着状態）２ａの説明図で、（Ａ）が斜視図、（Ｂ）が部分拡大図を夫々示す。また、図２は、固定接点を装着した状態のユニットベース２ａの説明図で、（Ａ）が平面、（Ｂ）がＡ部拡大図となっている。このユニットベース２ａでは、平面円弧状の一対の固定接点４，４を点対称に備える点等、主な構成は図６〜８で説明したユニットベース２と同じであるが、ここではユニットベース２ａの底板１３において、固定接点４の夫々の弾性端４ａの外周側に、規制部として、平面視でＬ字状となる規制突起１４が一体に突設されている。この規制突起１４は、可動接点１１が移動して弾性端４ａと接触した際に、外周側へ撓んだ弾性端４ａと当接してさらなる外周側への移動を規制するものである。ブラシベース３の構成は図６〜８と同じである。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, since the basic structure of the forward / reverse switching device is the same as that of the conventional structure described in FIGS. 6 to 8, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant description is omitted, and the structure is different from the conventional structure. The explanation will be focused on.
[Form 1]
FIGS. 1A and 1B are explanatory views of a unit base (a fixed contact is not mounted) 2a used in the forward / reverse switching device of the present invention, where FIG. 1A is a perspective view and FIG. 1B is a partially enlarged view. FIGS. 2A and 2B are explanatory views of the unit base 2a in a state where the fixed contacts are mounted. FIG. 2A is a plan view, and FIG. The unit base 2a has the same main configuration as the unit base 2 described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 in that the pair of planar arcuate fixed contacts 4 and 4 are provided point-symmetrically. However, here, the unit base 2a In the bottom plate 13, a restricting protrusion 14 that is L-shaped in a plan view is integrally projected as a restricting portion on the outer peripheral side of each elastic end 4 a of the fixed contact 4. When the movable contact 11 moves and comes into contact with the elastic end 4a, the restricting protrusion 14 comes into contact with the elastic end 4a bent toward the outer peripheral side to restrict further movement toward the outer peripheral side. The configuration of the brush base 3 is the same as that shown in FIGS.

以上の如く構成された正逆切替装置によれば、可動接点１１，１１のニュートラル位置からブラシベース３を正回転位置へ回転させると、図２に示すように、可動接点１１，１１が周方向へ移動して固定接点４，４の弾性端４ａを外周側へ押し上げるように撓ませて弾性端４ａと接触する。この状態で、外周側へ撓んだ弾性端４ａが規制突起１４に当接してそれ以上の変形を規制するため、モータへの駆動に伴って熱や振動が発生しても、弾性端４ａの外側へのばたつき（チャタリング）が抑制され、可動接点１１，１１との接触状態が維持される。これはブラシベース３を逆回転位置へ回転させた場合も同様である。   According to the forward / reverse switching device configured as described above, when the brush base 3 is rotated from the neutral position of the movable contacts 11, 11 to the forward rotation position, the movable contacts 11, 11 are moved in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. The elastic contacts 4a and 4b are bent so as to push the elastic ends 4a of the fixed contacts 4 and 4 to the outer peripheral side, and contact the elastic ends 4a. In this state, the elastic end 4a bent toward the outer peripheral side abuts against the restricting protrusion 14 to restrict further deformation, so even if heat or vibration is generated as the motor is driven, the elastic end 4a Fluttering (chattering) to the outside is suppressed, and the contact state with the movable contacts 11 and 11 is maintained. This is the same when the brush base 3 is rotated to the reverse rotation position.

このように、上記形態１の正逆切替装置によれば、固定接点４の端部を、可動接点１１との接触によって変形する弾性端４ａとする一方、ユニットベース２ａに、固定接点４と可動接点１１とが接触した際に変形する弾性端４ａと当接してその変形量を規制する規制突起１４を設けたことで、熱や振動に対する弾性端４ａの接圧低下を防止してチャタリングや溶着を抑制し、接点寿命を向上させることができる。特にこの効果は、規制突起１４を設ける簡単な構成で得られるため、コストアップは最小限で済む。   Thus, according to the forward / reverse switching device of the first aspect, the end portion of the fixed contact 4 is the elastic end 4a that is deformed by the contact with the movable contact 11, while the fixed contact 4 and the movable contact are moved to the unit base 2a. By providing the restricting protrusion 14 that abuts the elastic end 4a that deforms when the contact 11 comes into contact and restricts the amount of deformation, the contact pressure of the elastic end 4a against heat and vibration is prevented and chattering and welding are prevented. Can be suppressed and the contact life can be improved. In particular, this effect can be obtained with a simple configuration in which the restricting protrusions 14 are provided, so that the cost increase is minimized.

［形態２］
図３も、固定接点の未装着状態のユニットベース２ｂの説明図で、（Ａ）が斜視図、（Ｂ）が部分拡大図を夫々示している。このユニットベース２ｂでは、底板１３における規制突起１４の先端位置に抜き穴１５を設けて、規制突起１４の先端に弾性を付与している。
よって、この正逆切替装置によれば、ブラシベース３を正回転位置へ回転させて可動接点１１が固定接点４の弾性端４ａと接触し、弾性端４ａが外周側へ撓んで規制突起１４に当接すると、図４に示すように、規制突起１４の下端がその弾性によって外周側へ撓み、弾性端４ａを可動接点１１側に押圧することになる。よって、モータへの駆動に伴って熱や振動が発生しても、弾性端４ａの外周側へのばたつきが抑制され、可動接点１１との接触状態が維持される。これはブラシベース３を逆回転位置へ回転させた場合も同様である。 [Form 2]
FIG. 3 is also an explanatory diagram of the unit base 2b in a state where the fixed contacts are not mounted, in which (A) is a perspective view and (B) is a partially enlarged view. In this unit base 2 b, a punch hole 15 is provided at the tip position of the restriction projection 14 in the bottom plate 13, and elasticity is imparted to the tip of the restriction projection 14.
Therefore, according to this forward / reverse switching device, the brush base 3 is rotated to the forward rotation position so that the movable contact 11 comes into contact with the elastic end 4 a of the fixed contact 4, and the elastic end 4 a bends to the outer peripheral side to form the restriction projection 14. When abutting, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower end of the restricting projection 14 is bent toward the outer peripheral side due to its elasticity, and the elastic end 4 a is pressed toward the movable contact 11. Therefore, even if heat or vibration is generated as the motor is driven, flapping of the elastic end 4a toward the outer peripheral side is suppressed, and the contact state with the movable contact 11 is maintained. This is the same when the brush base 3 is rotated to the reverse rotation position.

このように、上記形態２の正逆切替装置においても、規制突起１４を設ける簡単な構成で、熱や振動に対する弾性端４ａの接圧低下を防止してチャタリングや溶着を効果的に抑制し、接点寿命を向上させることができる。特にここでは、規制突起１４に、弾性端４ａの当接によって変形する弾性を付与しているので、寸法公差等があってもこれを吸収でき、規制突起１４と弾性端４ａとの間に隙間が生じない。よって、形態１に比べて弾性端４ａのチャタリングや溶着をより確実に抑制できる優位性がある。   As described above, also in the forward / reverse switching device according to the second aspect, with a simple configuration in which the restriction protrusion 14 is provided, the contact pressure of the elastic end 4a with respect to heat and vibration is prevented from being lowered, and chattering and welding are effectively suppressed. Contact life can be improved. In particular, here, the restricting protrusion 14 is provided with elasticity that is deformed by the contact of the elastic end 4a. Therefore, even if there is a dimensional tolerance or the like, it can be absorbed, and a gap is formed between the restricting protrusion 14 and the elastic end 4a. Does not occur. Therefore, there is an advantage that chattering and welding of the elastic end 4a can be more reliably suppressed as compared with the first mode.

なお、規制部の形状は上記形態のようなＬ字状の規制突起に限らず、弾性端の変形量を規制できるものであれば、図５に示すような半径方向に沿った壁体となる規制突起１６としたり、周方向に沿った壁体としたり、円形の突起としたり等、形状は適宜変更可能である。また、規制部の弾性も、抜き穴によるものでなく、壁体の肉厚を変えることで弾性を付与したり等の変更が考えられる。勿論規制部はユニットベースに一体成形するものに限らず、樹脂製や金属製でユニットベースと別体の板材や板バネを使用したりしてもよい。
さらに、上記形態では、弾性端が外周側へ変形する構造となっているが、内周側へ変形する場合でも当該側に規制部を設ければ同様に弾性端のチャタリングや溶着は抑えられる。 Note that the shape of the restricting portion is not limited to the L-shaped restricting projection as in the above embodiment, and a wall body along the radial direction as shown in FIG. 5 can be used as long as the deformation amount of the elastic end can be restricted. The shape can be appropriately changed, such as the restricting protrusion 16, a wall along the circumferential direction, or a circular protrusion. Further, the elasticity of the restricting portion is not due to the punched hole, and changes such as imparting elasticity by changing the wall thickness are conceivable. Of course, the restricting portion is not limited to being integrally formed with the unit base, and may be made of resin or metal and may use a plate material or a leaf spring separate from the unit base.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the elastic end is deformed to the outer peripheral side. However, even when the elastic end is deformed to the inner peripheral side, chattering and welding of the elastic end can be similarly suppressed by providing a restricting portion on the side.

一方、上記形態では、ユニットベース側の固定接点の両端を弾性端にし、弾性端でないブラシベース側の可動接点との当接によって撓むようにしているが、これを互いに逆にして、ブラシベース側の可動接点の両端を弾性端にし、弾性端でないユニットベース側の固定接点との当接によって撓むようにしても差し支えない。この場合、規制部はブラシベースの下面側に設けることになる。
その他、本発明は、電動ドリル、電動ドライバドリルや電動ドライバ等、モータの正逆切替機能を備えた電動工具に採用可能である。
On the other hand, in the above embodiment, both ends of the fixed contact on the unit base side are made elastic ends and bent by contact with the movable contact on the brush base side which is not the elastic end. Both ends of the contact may be elastic and may be bent by contact with a fixed contact on the unit base side that is not the elastic end. In this case, the restricting portion is provided on the lower surface side of the brush base.
In addition, the present invention can be applied to an electric tool having a motor forward / reverse switching function, such as an electric drill, an electric driver drill, and an electric driver.
